A lot has changed since the last time we sideloaded Chrome on Android TV. Most devices now run Google TV (Android TV OS 11–14), and Chrome is no longer available as a simple APK download. So how do we install the new app bundle versions (APKM, APKs, APK+)?
Even if you get Chrome installed, you may run into this error:
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY: Reconciliation failed...: Package com.android.chrome requires unavailable static shared library com.google.android.trichromelibrary; failing!]"
This is a brand-new issue we haven’t seen before. So how can we successfully install the latest Chrome on the latest Google TV in 2025–2026? Let’s find out!
This method works with all Google TV devices: XIAOMI TV BOX S GEN2, XIAOMI TV BOX S GEN3, ONN TV, GOOGLE TV STREAMER, CHROMECAST WITH GOOGLE TV..and more.
